Fireworks

Fireworks are most affected by the wind. Too little, and the smoke will not move out of the way, too much, and it becomes too dangerous for them to be fired off. Additionally, low humidity ensures the smoke does not get too dense. While rain doesn't prevent fireworks from being set off nor affects the photographs very much, it certainly isn't as enjoyable trying to keep your gear dry. Finally, make sure to be aware of the wind direction. You want to be upwind from the fireworks, to ensure the smoke is not between you and the fireworks (by the same token, the earliest shots will likely be the best because of a lack of smoke).
